In the early morning! The Orionid meteor shower will reach its maximum, with a zenith flow of 20 / h.

CTOnews.com, October 21 (Xinhua)-- if you happen to see a meteor before dawn today and tomorrow, you are likely to see debris left in space by the famous Halley's comet. In the third week of October, the Orionid meteor shower, produced by Harley's falling debris, will reach its maximum.

CTOnews.com noted that this year's Orionid meteor shower will reach its peak between the night of October 21 and the early morning of 22, with a theoretical zenith flow of 20 per hour.

Orion Pexels is a winter constellation. It was early autumn and it appeared on our path around the sun, so it didn't rise completely above the eastern horizon until after 11:00 in the evening. In a few hours, between 4: 00 and 5: 00 in the morning, Orion will appear in the upper air to the south-southeast.

The best time to watch is from around 1 a.m. to 2 a.m., until the first glimmer of dawn (around 5:45), when Orion is on the highest point on the southern horizon. The higher Orion is in the sky, the more meteors appear in the sky. The Orionid meteor shower is one of the few known meteor showers that can be seen from both the northern and southern hemispheres.
